Fully customizable Multiview available on YouTube TV; You can mix and match content across different packages

Recently, it was announced that the Full Multiview Customisation feature is officially rolling out on YouTube TV.

Users can now use the new Multiview builder to select up to 4 live content they want to see. The company has introduced the ability to mix and match content across different packages. If you are a subscriber to a YouTube TV Plan and an add-on like NFL Sunday Ticket, you can now configure those streams together in a single multiview.

When you start a Multiview, you will see an updated builder flow. YouTube has added filter chips so you can easily browse through different categories: Recommended (personalised based on your viewing habits), Sports, Shows, News, Movies and other live content.

Do note that Multiview is designed for live content only. At this time, VOD (video on demand) and DVR content cannot be added to a Multiview. Additionally, select family-friendly content is not eligible for Multiview customisation.

It is revealed that this feature is rolling out to the vast majority of living rooms and mobile devices. But a small subset of older devices (less than 5%) may not support the full customisation UX. If you are on one of these devices, you will still have access to a Multiview builder, but it will be focused on major “tentpole” events like the NFL or World Cup.
